$560 Buy-In Double Black Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em Freeze-Out
Level 1: 25/50

It’s a big day at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino as the ballroom will be packed with four separate tournaments running throughout the day.

The first of the day is built for those poker players who love action. Event 11 is scheduled as a 1-day $560 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament where players earn $200 for each opponent they knock out of the tournament. It is also running as a freeze-out so players only have one shot at the title, no re-entry is allowed so players need to do the most with their one bullet into the tournament.

Players will sit behind stacks of 10,000 and play 30-minute levels with late registration open until the start of Level 7.

Tournament instructions are complete and cards are in the air.

Level 15: Blinds 1,500/3,000/400 ante

Ben Cross built his stack to 275k and took the chip lead late in the previous level.  There’s still most of a level of play ahead and anything can happen, but the chip leader at the end of level 15 will receive a $1,000 chip leader bonus.

We’ve seen big stacks crash and burn during the last couple of levels and we’ve also seen players come from nowhere to claim the bonus.  Until the last hand is played, it could be anyone.
